The first time I saw them. Brings back memories. The park we used to get our weed and acid from was Bliss park in Bklyn ny. Ireremember the girl dealing asking " are you going to see the dead tonite?". I'd heard of them but never heard them. Anyway I saw an ad in the paper that they were playing at the Fillmore so me and my friend Norman went down to get tickets. A friend from grammer school came up to us and said he needed money for a ticket and had a place near the front of the line if we would give him a buck he would get us tickets. Agreed! He got us 5th row. That night we went to bliss and got 2 tabs of strawberry flat acid , dropped it and by thevtime we got to the Fillmore we were pretty wasted. An usher took us to our seats ( which were occupied by others) and we sat down. Jerry was singing " don't murder me". I was on the end of the row when a guy came up withna water gun and said "open your mouth" and shot us both with I assume was more acid. I don't remember alot of that night except thinking of the wo4d ecstasy. I remember easy wind I swear pig pen came out in a horse driven carriage. I remember pig pen asking for a harmonica and expected my friend Devi to give him one ( he had gotten a ticket and was in the back rows). I remember dancing in the streets and lovelight. Lovelight was burned in my mind. After the show a friend John Stevens who was in thebsame row center. Came up to me ( I was huddled in my seat and said ( next time you'll be dancing". We walked out and smoker a joint then went to union square park. The next day I had to go to my grandmother's funeral. I remember thinking she wasn't really dead but on a different plane of existence. A seminal experience!!!

Thanx Jamie, Matt, & GEMS. Great acoustic set, incredible ending with an off the charts Dancing. Might be the 1st How Long Blues I've heard. Attics is a real beauty, especially for this time period. The sound is a definite C but the show is much more than that. I am playing Cold Rain and Attics on my radio show tomorrow night. Peace.
